About DKIM records

Firstly, a DKIM is a TXT or CNAME record released on your domain in the DNS, under _(selector).domainkey.yourDomain.com, where “yourDomain.com” is your exact domain or subdomain. Once a new email message arrives, the server receiving email screens up and uses the public key of the DKIM record.
